Geodude (Japanese: イシツブテ Ishitsubute) is a Rock/Ground-type. It was introduced in Generation I and has been available in every game since.
Geodude comes with one of two Abilities: Sturdy, which prevents One-Hit KO attacks from having any effect; or Rock Head, which eliminates the recoil from certain attacks -- for instance, Double-edge.
Geodude evolves via level, starting at level 25, into Graveler, and then into Golem at any time via link trade.

In the anime
Brock had a Geodude that he used in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his brother, Forrest, on his departure to Hoenn.
Other Gym Leaders have also used Geodudes: Danny, the Naval Island Gym Leader, used one to help create and ride a sledge as part of the challenges in Navel Maneuvers. Roxanne used one in her battle with Ash in Winner by a Nosepass. Roark used his Geodude against Paul in Shapes of Things to Come and Ash in DP018.
Geodude and its evolved forms were the loyal subjects of King Onix in AG137.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Special manga
Geodude makes a cameo in Onix is On!, part of the Red, Green & Blue chapter, standing next to Brock, suggesting that is its owner.
Other appearances
Geodude is the final Pokéfloat to appear. As the Unown float around the top half of the screen, Geodude floats across the bottom with its arms outstretched, providing a solid base for fighting. After it leaves the screen, there will be no Pokéfloats on the screen for a few seconds, before Squirtle pops up and restarts the cycle.

The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always.

It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing.
